==Background== | |||
*Polynesians from Samoa settled Niue around 900 AD. Further settlers arrived from Tonga in the 16th century. | |||
*The next notable European visitors represented the London Missionary Society. | |||
*In the 2013 New Zealand census, 7.4% of the New Zealand population identified with one or more Pacific ethnic groups, although 62.3% of these were born in New Zealand. Those with a Samoan background make up the largest proportion, followed by Cook Islands Māori, Tongan, and Niuean. Some smaller island populations such as Niue and Tokelau have the majority of their nationals living in New Zealand.<ref name="niue"/> | |||
